This time I made a meandering book, I find books without spines are easier. I like to use a different method for each book so that way my book making skills will be improving too. I used some nice Japanese paper for the cover which suited the sumi-e drawings inside.<br />

J'ai réalisé un simple album accordéon tapissé de tissu recto/verso dont les bords sont teints en bleu ou en marron pour reprendre les couleurs de mes pages.<br />
Pour la couverture et le dos j'ai écrits en gouache orange au tire ligne pour donner un peu de dynamisme!<br />
Voilà ma réalisation. Je m'inscris pour 2014, j'espère réussir à faire les 2 alphabets. Merci à Fiona de nous proposer ce merveilleux défi. ninehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01108998582690005502noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859021135645186044.post-57736465803475815182013-12-28T10:30:00.000+10:002013-12-28T10:30:00.131+10:00second ALAW alphabet completed<br />
The laser-cut versions of my personal hand-written true-type font produced a set of cut-out letters, all in 3mm thick card, in both upper and lower case. I decided to use the upper-case set for my second alphabet.<br />
<br />
In this case, I simply mounted the individual letters on folded heavy-weight cartridge paper, which I had previously cut and folded and assembled into a 26 sheet concertina book, which fits into a simple hand-made box. Like my peace alphabet, this set of letters have been sitting waiting for me to find the time to mount and finish them for some long time.<br />
<br />
I realise that I have cheated rather on the concept of posting one letter each week. That had been my firm intent, but life has been getting in the way, and while my conscience has been badgering me regularly to post them and to put them together into a book, I haven't been good at keeping to schedule.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the letters are made, the book is assembled, a box has been constructed, and - because I dare not risk further prevarication and delay - here they all are. I have called them 'silent letters' - but it's a misnomer because, in comparison to my abc for peace, these positively shout out loud: they are capitals, they are in black on white, they stand proud of their mounting concertina, and they demand to be taken notice of.<br />

Because the profile of each letter has come from my original handwritten script, in normal hand-writing size, the enlargement to 220 point reveals interesting details in the shape of the line in each letter. So the profile has peculiar irregularities, dips and bends, which show up particularly well in these raised, cut-outs. Here are two good ones - Q and F.<br />

I have been a laggardly contributor to ALAW 2013, because, like all of us I guess, lots of other things have demanded my time and attention during the year. However, I have enjoyed having this project at the back of my mind during other distractions, and I feel I have, latterly anyway, got back my initial excitement about the whole idea of creating unique alphabets in this forum. So I hope to be able to carry on into ALAW 2014, but with a firm resolution to make my pieces in proper time and order, and to keep up with regular, if not weekly, postings to the blog.<br />
<br />
I've also, as in previous years, much enjoyed seeing other people's work as it has emerged, and am intrigued by your ingenuity and creativity in finding so many ways to present and interpret such familiar but fantastic symbols.

Je suis en vacances et j'ai décidé de terminer tout ce que j'ai commencé avant de faire autre chose...<br />
Je voulais donc finir ce deuxième alphabet.<br />
<br />
J'aime beaucoup présenter ces alphabets sous forme de livre et cette fois-ci je me suis inspirée d'un alphabet de Elaine Witton, qui a participé à l'exposition de Fiona. j'espère qu'elle ne sera pas triste ou déçue.<br />
<br />
Voilà je vais pouvoir commencer à réfléchir pour 2014...<br />
En attendant je vous souhaite de belles fêtes de Noël et de fin d'année...<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">après avoir essayé de les mettre en mobile, j'ai choisi de faire un

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Les photos sont difficiles à prendre mais le résultat n'est pas si mal...!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">je l'ai pris avec et sans flash devant une baie vitrée, puis sur un fond

Finally, here is my complete alphabet on peace: I had gone on an idea of
lightness and transparency as I used white paper, transparencies, layers,
crystal, etc. ...<br />
<br />
Here are the 26 letters:<br />
<br />
After trying to put them into mobile, I chose to make a Leporello on
transparent sheets that I have sewn.<br />
<br />
The pictures are hard to make, but the result is not so bad ...!<br />
<br />
I took it with and without flash in front of a bay window, and then on a white
background.<br /></span></span></div>

Actually, the 26 letters for my peace alphabet were finished months ago, but the task of assembling them into a book/object has been loitering in the margins of my time/place/consciousness. And with the end of the year in sight, and amid all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, somehow my letters emerged at the top of my 'to-do' list this weekend. Possibly as a displacement activity (I am always the last person to the post box with my Christmas cards) but who cares? They are done, so here's the result.<br />
<br />

I showed the individual letters up to 't', I think, back in July. To re-cap - my letters are based on a hand-written alphabet which was turned into a true-type font via www.yourfonts.com. I used this, at 220 point size which fit pretty well into the 7cm squares for ALAW, to create a file in InDesign which was then laser-cut on 3mm thick card, providing me with relief shapes for embossing onto Somerset print-making paper. The embossing shows the slightly brown edges which come from the laser-cutting process.<br />

<br />
I trimmed the individual letters a little, and then mounted them onto cartridge paper to make a concertina-fold book. The end boards were also laser-cut, using the same personalised font, but in 18 point. They are housed in a simple box from 3mm black board, with a white version of the title mounted on the top section.<br />

<br />
I was very pleased with the font itself, and have been using it for various documents produced on my computer. It feels good to be able to print things out in something approaching my own handwriting. However, the font isn't transferable on documents I send to other people's computers, unless I also send them the ttf. file. <br />
<br />
Blown up to 220 point, the hand-written nature of the letters becomes more obvious and more interesting: every little wobble of the original line shows up and gives unusual edges and twists to the main letter strokes. This shows up well, for example, on the letters 'o' and 'p' .<br />
<br />

<br />
At the start of the year I was struggling a little to think what I would do for my abc for peace. But these embossed letters have solved the problem. They speak of peace, to me, because they are quiet, in the sense that they are all in lower case (no e-mail 'shouting' here!), they are embossed - so you can feel them rather than 'say' them, there is no colour contrast, but the slightly smoky edges give a hint of the violence of the laser which produced them.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: left;">I wanted to see if I could create a useable font, and had a try over at Fontstruct. Easy to use site, you can check it out here: </span><a href="http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/pacem13" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: left;" target="_blank">Pacem13 font</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: left;">. Works in photoshop on my MAC, but not microsoft word. 13 comes from the fact that it is 13x13 pixels, so looks closest to my original idea at about 10 pt. I'll try and work on a larger version so that it doesn't size up quite so thick on the lines.</span></div>

It was a case of do it now or who knows when I would get to it. <br />
It's this crazy time of year where catching up with family and friends, making cards to keep in touch with the family and friends in other parts of Australia and the world, takes precedence. It is such a lovely time of year, one that gives me permission to think about people and think of the memories of previous years. I love it! <br />
I have enjoyed being part of ALAW again this year and I am looking forward to being part of the challenge next year. Special thanks to Fiona for organising the very successful ALAW exhibition. <br />

For a long time I have not posted any photo, as I argued in my second alphabet ...<br />
Too much of everything and nothing and time passes ...<br />
Here are the photos of the alphabet way iris folding perhaps they will appear in the mess ...<br />

Bonjour, </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Hello, <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Et voilà les vraies dernières lettres du deuxième alphabet ;)</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Je vous explique... Ce vieil alphabet, comme beaucoup d'autres jadis, n'avait pas de "i", pas de "u" ni de "w"... Logique...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US">And now
the latest real letters of the second alphabet of a letter a week ... Let me
explain ... This old alphabet, like many other formerly had no "i",
not "u" or "w" ... </span>Logic<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Et comme j'ai "copié" un alphabet... même si je lui ai ajouté quelques arabesques, je n'ai donc pas écrit de "i", ni de "u", ni de "w"... Mais maintenant, ces lettres manquent quand elles n'y sont pas... A-t-on jamais vu un alphabet amputé d'un "i", d'un "u" ou d'un "w" ? ;)</span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US">And as I
have "copied" an alphabet ... even if I added him some arabesques, so
I did not write "i" or "u" or "w" ... But now,
these letters are missing when they are not there ... A Does anyone ever seen
an alphabet cut a "i", a "u" or "w"? ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Il a donc fallu que je les "invente" moi-même... Enfin... quand je dis "invente"... j'ai surtout "composé"... car comme je ne suis pas spécialiste de la création d'alphabet, surtout ancien, je me suis aidée des tracés de toutes les lettres pour composer les trois qui me manquaient... Donc ce n'est pas rigoureusement exact côté "historique"... Espérons juste que cela ne choque pas à côté des autres lettres...</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US"></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US">It was
therefore necessary that I "invented" myself ... Finally ... when I
say "invented" ... I especially "compound" ... because as I
am not an expert creating alphabet, especially old, I helped plots of all the
letters to compose the three that I missed ... So this is not strictly correct
side "historic" ... Let's just hope it does not shock alongside other
letters ...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Voilà ce que cela donne...</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Here's
what happens ... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pour le "i", je voulais au départ utiliser le "j", mais cela détonnait à côté... j'ai donc utilisé le tracé vertical du "r" et du "h", puis j'ai ajouté une base comme sur le "h". Pour le haut, j'ai essayé différents motifs des autres lettres, à gauche, le haut du "j" convenait, mais à droite, ça ne me convenait pas alors j'ai inventé pour le coup.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US"></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span lang="EN-US">For the
"i", I originally wanted to use the "j", but it clashed
next ... so I used the vertical layout of the "r" and "h",
then I added a base as the "h". For the top, I tried different
patterns of other letters, left, the top of the "j" appropriate, but
right, it does not suit me so I invented for once.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The idea
underlying my alphabet is that we are surrounded by constant noise and busyness in our

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Georgia;">These are the first eight letters of my Recycled Quilt the second alphabet for the year. As I am still having problems with my computer I have asked Fiona to post them for me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Georgia;">The letters were designed and cut from old magazines and glued down onto card forming a quilt design - hence the recycled! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Georgia;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Georgia;">Thanks Valerie</span><br />

<i>Good evening</i><br />
<br />
Voici quatre autres lettres qui me rapprochent tout doucement de la fin de l'alphabet... ;)<br />Les lettres arrondies sont un peu plus difficiles parce que l'arrondi doit être régulier... En même temps, les tracés droits sont difficiles parce qu'elles doivent être parfaitement droites... ;)<br />

<i>Here are four other letters that bring me gently from the end of the alphabet ... ;)</i></div>
<div>
<i>The rounded letters are a little more difficult because the flare must be regular ... At the same time, the plots rights are difficult because they must be perfectly straight ...</i></div>

<br />Little bit of bluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11345282123402093928noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6859021135645186044.post-64000325599757848802013-11-15T03:30:00.003+10:002013-11-15T03:30:43.326+10:00I didn't forgetMy second alphabet, the Peace alpha, has been challenging. After seeing all the great ideas of how people interpreted it, I was stuck trying to come up with my own version, uninfluenced by what I'd seen.<br />
<br />
This time I started backwards and figured out the display format first. I've been wanting to try a flag book forever, so I settled on that for my format. Then, what to put on the pages???? How to depict peace - overwhelmed by the global scope of the idea. So I brought it back to a more personal level: words and colors that bring me peace, that help me feel calm and peaceful.<br />
<br />
I'm incorporating my photography by choosing images and closeups that feel peaceful to me and the lettering will be all in shades of blue/green which are the most peaceful colors. I have all my flag pages done and the patterns for the letters, but the letters aren't all cut out yet..... here's a hint of what I'm thinking....<br />
<br />

<br />
Each page will have a word speaking to the idea or feeling of peace. I'm excited to pull this all together by the end of the year.<br />
<br />
BTW, congrats to Fiona for successfully navigating the challenges of getting a show organized to showcase this excellent ongoing project!<br />
